Crapgadget CES, round 6: New Generation Video Game System

Palm ain't got nothing on this new-ness.

[drill @ Jan 12th 2009 12:05AM]

Love the brand "i-too". Speaks for itself, really.

[The Dude @ Jan 12th 2009 12:07AM]

mii-Too would have been to obvious.

[thedesolate1 @ Jan 12th 2009 12:14AM]

yeah like they totally ripped that controller from the N64 gamepad.

[Emerson Cargnin @ Jan 12th 2009 8:02AM]

It should had been we-too :)

[rdwald @ Jan 12th 2009 12:06AM]

VRMS? You mean, like virtual Richard M. Stallman?

[thomas @ Jan 12th 2009 12:05AM]

ill take 5

[AVG @ Jan 12th 2009 12:25AM]

If the games look like what's on the screen, give me 6.

[Knee to the Groin @ Jan 12th 2009 1:21AM]

i too!

[MonkeyHood @ Jan 12th 2009 2:18AM]

What's the price? I'm not paying $600 for a new generation console.

[(01) @ Jan 14th 2009 8:36PM]

@MonkeyHood -
It's "New" generation, not "next" generation; should be about 6 easy payments of $99.00

[Allister @ Jan 12th 2009 12:06AM]

Seems to be a bit of a i-too effort, if you ask me.

[Dan @ Jan 12th 2009 12:25AM]

how dare you take my icon! Dinocomics can only be had by one man.

[Allister @ Jan 12th 2009 12:53AM]

If you want to get technical, wouldn't that 'one man' be Ryan North? And besides, 'take' implies that I saw your avatar decided to use it, which is certainly not the case. As evidenced by the crude border from my dodgy crop job, and the fact that I've never seen a comment of yours before today!

[Gad Get @ Jan 12th 2009 1:59AM]

Well, this is just ridiculous!

[tha-don @ Jan 12th 2009 2:09AM]

wait a second, what's goin on here?!?

[Ryback @ Jan 12th 2009 3:49AM]

WTH!

[Arkenklo @ Jan 12th 2009 7:13AM]

Whoah, I thought the dude had responded to his own post 5 times. Phew.

[absinthe party @ Jan 12th 2009 7:52AM]

Later:

WHAT JUST HAPPENED!?

[Barbaric @ Jan 12th 2009 5:19PM]

Did you guys sign up to receive unique avatars from the i-too live gaming network?
I must say, I am very fond of the color you choose!

[Jeff @ Jan 12th 2009 12:06AM]

Good for chopping wood? 6 Axes?

[rTwelve @ Jan 12th 2009 12:56AM]

hooray for irregular plurals!

[Ed @ Jan 12th 2009 4:35PM]

That part is actually smart marketing. The while point of that business model is to sell to grandparents that have no idea what they are buying and will think that Vii, Mii, Dii, Kii, are ALL the same as Wii :)

"What's the difference? It's a video game thingy!"

It has couple of play on words there, maybe a couple of things grandparents have seen before in passing. If they actually said "6 Axis" controller, they might get sued.

This is truly and craptastically brilliant.

[Major S @ Jan 12th 2009 3:50AM]

"Axes" is right, you are WRONG. Sorry

[J. Evans Turner @ Jan 12th 2009 1:12PM]

I don't think he ever said "axes" is wrong. He said it was irregular, which is so.

[unfunk @ Jan 12th 2009 12:09AM]

6 Axes? Quick, somebody tell Jack Thompson!

[KC @ Jan 12th 2009 4:25AM]

lol, I bet it's great for those hack and slash games too!

[Aguiluz @ Jan 12th 2009 7:54AM]

He's disbarred.

[Mr.Devious @ Jan 12th 2009 12:12AM]

Me remembers that crazy-familiar looking wii-mote clone I seen at giant tiger last year, it had a 0.8" lcd built into it that you could play a little racing game on it.

[pickleman77 @ Jan 12th 2009 12:15AM]

According to the website, that's the i-too "Hammer"
There's also a remote peripheral that is totally not trying to be a Wiimote.

[AJR @ Jan 12th 2009 12:18AM]

I certainly LOLed .

[Zack @ Jan 12th 2009 12:19AM]

Oh shit! They have the underwater cowboy game market cornered!

[Jon Nelson @ Jan 12th 2009 12:46AM]

Bastards! Mine was DAYS from release!

[Dave @ Jan 12th 2009 12:22AM]

Swing Fever "consists of 9 motion sensing games including fishing, horse racing, hammering, pork roasting, cooking, screwing, wood logging, wood chopping and food chopping."

I don't know where to begin because I'm laughing too hard.

[jeesusfreek @ Jan 12th 2009 12:36AM]

"...screwing"

gooooooooood.

[Gad Get @ Jan 12th 2009 2:05AM]

Oh, stop screwing around, you guys!

[Ryback @ Jan 12th 2009 3:51AM]

Add a log jamming game and I'm sold!

[auricom @ Jan 12th 2009 9:21AM]

all the things you need if you want to survive out there.. what with underwater cowboys and all

[DT @ Jan 12th 2009 9:56AM]

Finally, a game that takes the fun of pork roasting to the living room!

[AJR @ Jan 12th 2009 12:22AM]

their website was God awful slow for me.
www.vrmsgame.com

[AJR @ Jan 12th 2009 12:23AM]

there we go sorry about that.

[AJR @ Jan 12th 2009 12:24AM]

there we go, sorry about that.

[Pixls @ Jan 12th 2009 12:26AM]

i tried their site, nearly half didn't load the first time, upon refresh even less loaded, but my firefox clearly stated that is was done. hahahhaha

[AJR @ Jan 12th 2009 12:28AM]

If you have time on your hands you can keep trying it'll work eventually.

[Pixls @ Jan 12th 2009 12:32AM]

i think i'll go pick out my outfits for the next month, right after i'm done sorting all of my change by value, and then year minted...

[Soulsaber @ Jan 12th 2009 12:29AM]

It's an AJR invasion!

[StinkyPete @ Jan 12th 2009 12:50AM]

Random snippet I found on the net...
"VRMS fully supports the trophies and certificate of achievements to the winners and encourages the winners to join this new game industry."

I think anyone who buys one gets a gold star for sure...

[MaxSMoke @ Jan 12th 2009 1:16AM]

If it has a motion sensor it might be useful. Or is it just a joystick?

[Spider 17 @ Jan 12th 2009 1:40AM]

Rock band drums are bad enough, now this crap.

[Gad Get @ Jan 12th 2009 2:01AM]

No it doesn't. Wii is the bose.

(See what I did there?)

[Gad Get @ Jan 12th 2009 2:03AM]

Stop spamming us with that stupid website!
